今天是震惊世界的709律师大抓捕的十周年，伍雷律师与我们分享他从做律师到远居日本的心路历程。录这期节目令人心酸，但作为旁观者，我们对亲历者能做的最基本的事，就是倾听和看见他们，并与他们同在

I was in a talk by Bjorn Lomborg. He showed a graph of damages of electric cars, he pointed to an incredibly high bar on human toxicity, and said: this is mostly in China, so do we really care? The room laughed, and I was stunned, not knowing what he meant (or perhaps I did) and how to react.

Fun interview of Eric Hobsbawm’s life
🤝 📚 Shorenstein APARC Fellow Thomas Fingar joined @hooverinstitution.bsky.social visiting fellow @heliuleo.bsky.social to discuss the early phases of US-China educational exchange that occurred during the Carter administration's normalization of relations. ⤵️

In this week of Jimmy Carter’s funeral, I bring you a piece with Dr. Thomas Fingar, who facilitated US-China education exchanges in late 70s and early 80s at Stanford and National Academy of Sciences. This is a story of how US-China education exchange came together.

The sight of Silicon Valley flocking to Trump through $1m donations is truly disgusting. Short live the king.

‘I suppose it could seem odd to travel to a war, and not just in one’s imagination—even if I do come from a family of travelers. My father, who was a fur trader in northern China, died there during the Japanese invasion—I was five.’
WHAT?

A nice short history of violent partitions. I am left wondering - has partition ever worked? Are we just condemned to violence, with or without partition in Ukraine?

Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day.
Teach a man to fish, he'll contribute to the global overdepletion of the ocean.
So give him a salad, maybe.
son, I have tried to keep quiet about your character and behavior, but after listening to the way you made Samantha feel today, I cannot stay silent. And as a woman and your mother I feel I must speak out.. You are an abuser of women — that is the ugly truth and I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around, and uses women for his own power and ego. You are that man (and have been for years) and as your mother, it pains me and embarrasses me to say that, but it is the sad, sad truth. I am not a saint, far from it.. so don't throw that in my face,. but your abuse over the years to women (dishonesty, sleeping around, betrayal, debasing, belittling) needs to be called out. Sam is a good mother and a good person (under the circumstances that you created) and I know deep down you know that. For you to try to label her as "unstable" for your own advantage is despicable and abusive. Is there any sense of decency left in you? She did not ask for or deserve any of what has come to her by your hand. Neither did Meredith.
![I know you think this is one big competition and that we have taken her side... bunk... we are on the side of good and that is not you. (Go ahead and call me self-righteous, I dont' care)
Don't you dare run to her and cry foul that we shared with us... that's what babies do. It's time for someone (I wish it was a strong man) to stand up to your abusive behavior and call it out, especially against women
We still love you, but we are broken by your behavior and lack of character. I don't want to write emails like this and never thought I would. If it damages our relationship further, then so be it, but at least I have said my piece. [Redacted]
And yes, we are praying for you (and you don't deserve to know how we are praying, so skip the snarky reply)
I don't want an answer to this... I don't want to debate with you. You twist and abuse everything I say anyway. But... On behalf of all the women (and I know it's many) you have abused in some way, I say... get some help and take an honest look at yourself...
